I think this is too hard for many people and just overwhelms the nervous system.\n\nThis workshop is designed for people who want a gradual and easier approach.

We start in pairs and work our way up to smaller groups and slowly desensitise to being seen by a larger audience.The Speeches are are also short, from 10 seconds to 1 minute.\n\nYou are under no pressure to do anything, all exercises are voluntary, no one will ever be put on the spot.\n\nI want people to view this class in the same light as a weight lifting class, if there was a weight to heavy for you , you would just say \"I can't lift that yet\" and there would be no shame nor embarrassment around it, so If something is abit to outside of your comfort zone, just sit it out and don't feel that you have to be embarrassed or have to explain yourself.\n\nWe'll be in studio 25 this week , at the theatre deli which is 107 Leadenhall street, it can be a bit confusing as is look a bit life and office building but it's actually studio and rehearsal spaces.\n\nI hope to see you there, if youre still worried feel free to send me a message or call me and hopefully I can put your mind at ease -07477077431\n

Open to all. No previous philosophical experience necessary.\n\nWe will meet at the Performance Space in Crossrail Place Roof Garden. It is on the first floor of Crossrail Place. Go up the escalators to the Roof Garden and follow the signs to the Performance Space.\n\nHere's how it works:\n\n* At the start of each hour vote on which questions to discuss. You can vote for more than one question if you'd like. The questions with the most votes are the questions we discuss.\n* We then break up into groups and each group does a different question. The question is just a starting point and it's cool if you go on tangents and up end talking about different things. You're welcome to join in and participate or if you'd prefer you're welcome to sit back and enjoy the conversation.\n\nAfter an hour we all come back together, take a quick break and then repeat all over again. So in 3 hours we go around 3 times.\n\nThe aim is to have fun, meet new people, generate interesting and thought-provoking conversations, have your horizons expanded, challenge your preconceptions and who knows - you might even learn something?\n\nIn order to make the conversations as fun, interesting and productive for everyone as possible please follow these simple guidelines:\n\n1. Keep it Philosophical\n(No Science, no History, no Evolutionary Psychology, no contestable facts, personal anecdotes etc).\n2. Think for Yourself\n(No phones, no looking up definitions, no name dropping Philosophers / books you've read).\n3. Tangents are Cool\n(Don't worry too much if the subject drifts and you don't answer the question).\n4. Keep it Succinct\n(Like this).\n5. Be Excellent to Each Other\n(But of course).\n\nPhilosophy is about conceptual analysis. It's thinking about thinking. It's not about empiricism or the real world. It's about abstractions, concepts and ideas.\n\nTo terms of the right attitude: It's not about debating and trying to win - it's about listening to people and working collaboratively to increase our collective understanding.\n\nNo homework or prior knowledge or reading is necessary - simply come and enjoy the discussions.\n\nAfter the event finishes most people stay. A bunch of us will go to the local supermarket for drinks and snacks. You are very welcome to join us.\n\nIf you would like to submit a question please join the Whatsapp group. Question submissions take place on the Thursday before the meeting.\n\nWe hope to see you there.\n\nNice one.\n\n...\n\nTo join the Philosophy in the Park WhatsApp Group please click here: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdFaxJHbeOw9UOfuk7spiK](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdFaxJHbeOw9UOfuk7spiK) (in order to stop spam bots this will take you to a Waiting Room.

Evidence for a series of sightings spread over two nights includes eye-witness statements from security guards at the US Air Force base near Woodbridge in Suffolk, a memo from a high-ranking USAF officer to the UK’s Ministry of Defence, and a real-time tape recording of events as they unfolded. This talk looks at the main points of the case and explains how the witnesses were fooled by a series of natural and man-made objects. The Rendlesham case is an instructive demonstration that UFO sightings can never be taken at facevalue no matter how reliable the witnesses may seem.\n\nIan Ridpath is an internationally renowned writer on astronomy and space and a well-known UFO skeptic. He was the first skeptic to investigate and explain the Rendlesham Forest UFO case after it hit the headlines in 1983. His investigations have grown into a major website which can be accessed here\n\nhttp://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/rendlesham.html\n\nThis talk will summarize his investigations of the case.","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1762711638000","seoName":"the-rendlesham-forest-ufo-case-deconstructing-a-myth-ian-ridpath","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-pembury/cate-classes-lessons/the-rendlesham-forest-ufo-case-deconstructing-a-myth-ian-ridpath-6434708970304112/","localIds":"19","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"a3f78bb0-d073-4bb1-bb68-42805212a053","sid":"1cf02105-51df-4e96-82bd-1cdfc8e85b90"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1762711638304,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"classes-lessons","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6506","location":"157 Walworth Rd, London SE17 1RY, UK","infoId":"6431142273523412","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/0/a/0/highres_529888832.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Level 1 NVC Foundation Training - In-Person London","content":"Join me for this 2 day, in-person training in Elephant & Castle, London, where we will dive into the foundational principles and practices of Non Violent Communication (NVC).\n\nWhether your interest is to influence your professional, interpersonal, parental or personal communication style, we will explore together the transformational potential of NVC to support you to see and hear yourself and others from a fresh perspective.\n\nArmed this fresh perspective you will be equipped to find new ways through and around challenging situations that may previously have seemed unimaginable.\n\n**During our 2 days together we will begin to:**\n\n* Get curious about why our current strategies might not be supporting connection\n* Discover compassion and understanding for ourselves and others where there was previously blame and criticism\n* Find ways to communicate our intentions that are more likely to be heard\n* Tune our ears to hear what is really being said\n* Get creative about finding solutions to dilemmas that honour everyone’s needs\n* Learn and practice in a non judgemental space where you will be seen and heard for your needs\n\nThe training will have an experiential focus drawing on small and large group activities and discussions to integrate the learning as a lived experience.\n\nTo register go to: https://tinyurl.com/msdpzr5t","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1762432990000","seoName":"level-1-nvc-foundation-training-in-person-london","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-pembury/cate-classes-lessons/level-1-nvc-foundation-training-in-person-london-6431142273523412/","localIds":"19","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"59baa26d-ca0e-4579-ac3a-0e6e34f5cee4","sid":"1cf02105-51df-4e96-82bd-1cdfc8e85b90"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1762432990118,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"classes-lessons","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6506","location":"48 Tower Bridge Rd, London SE1 4TR, UK","infoId":"6431142256166612","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/7/e/d/highres_526491181.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Public Speaking For Beginners","content":"Do you get anxious about presenting to large groups?\n\nDo you do all the preparation, only to let yourself down when it comes to delivering your talk or presentation?\n\nCome to **London Toastmasters** and start polishing your presentations and speeches for maximum impact.\n\nAttend **twice** as a guest, free of charge.\n\nJoin the club only when you feel ready.\n\nSome of the comments our guests made:\n\n***‘I will definitely visit again.

Open to all. No previous philosophical experience necessary.\n\nWe will meet at the Performance Space in Crossrail Place Roof Garden. It is on the first floor of Crossrail Place. Go up the escalators to the Roof Garden and follow the signs to the Performance Space.\n\nHere's how it works:\n\n* At the start of each hour vote on which questions to discuss. You can vote for more than one question if you'd like. The questions with the most votes are the questions we discuss.\n* We then break up into groups and each group does a different question. The question is just a starting point and it's cool if you go on tangents and up end talking about different things. You're welcome to join in and participate or if you'd prefer you're welcome to sit back and enjoy the conversation.\n\nAfter an hour we all come back together, take a quick break and then repeat all over again. So in 3 hours we go around 3 times.\n\nThe aim is to have fun, meet new people, generate interesting and thought-provoking conversations, have your horizons expanded, challenge your preconceptions and who knows - you might even learn something?\n\nIn order to make the conversations as fun, interesting and productive for everyone as possible please follow these simple guidelines:\n\n1. Keep it Philosophical\n(No Science, no History, no Evolutionary Psychology, no contestable facts, personal anecdotes etc).\n2. Think for Yourself\n(No phones, no looking up definitions, no name dropping Philosophers / books you've read).\n3. Tangents are Cool\n(Don't worry too much if the subject drifts and you don't answer the question).\n4. Keep it Succinct\n(Like this).\n5. Be Excellent to Each Other\n(But of course).\n\nPhilosophy is about conceptual analysis. It's thinking about thinking. It's not about empiricism or the real world. It's about abstractions, concepts and ideas.\n\nTo terms of the right attitude: It's not about debating and trying to win - it's about listening to people and working collaboratively to increase our collective understanding.\n\nNo homework or prior knowledge or reading is necessary - simply come and enjoy the discussions.\n\nAfter the event finishes most people stay. A bunch of us will go to the local supermarket for drinks and snacks. You are very welcome to join us.\n\nIf you would like to submit a question please join the Whatsapp group. Question submissions take place on the Thursday before the meeting.\n\nWe hope to see you there.\n\nNice one.\n\n...\n\nTo join the Philosophy in the Park WhatsApp Group please click here: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdFaxJHbeOw9UOfuk7spiK](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdFaxJHbeOw9UOfuk7spiK) (in order to stop spam bots this will take you to a Waiting Room.

But there are many degrees of “big.” The invention of television was big; the Internet even bigger. Then there are the real game-changers, like modern medicine and the Industrial Revolution. And then, in our imagination, there are even greater degrees of “big.”\n\nThe question of just how big a change the “AI revolution” will bring to our lives has been on my mind ever since - not just how big, but in what ways, and over what time frame?\n\nLuckily, some very smart people have written books and given lengthy talks speculating about just that, giving us an excellent basis for discussion.\n\n**Why History Cafe**\nYou'll notice that this is the first event where we’ll be discussing the future rather than the past.

Bring your curiosity and an open mind — let’s learn, reflect, and grow together.\n🎧 **Attendee Requirements**\nTo get the most out of each session, please have:\n\n* A **computer or iPad-style device** (no phones, please)\n* **Stable internet access**\n* A **headset with microphone**\n* A **webcam** (for full participation and connection)\n* **Link** provided for **RSVP members only** 10 mins prior to session\n* **Attendees agree to behave with uttermost decorum**\n\nLet’s learn, connect, and grow together. ✨\n**Telegram**: https://t.me/CorrineAtlas7","price":"Free","unit":null,"currency":null,"company":null,"language":"en","online":1,"infoType":1,"biz":"community","postDate":"1761109949000","seoName":"unlock-hidden-knowledge-esoteric-english-w-corrine","supplement":null,"author":null,"originalPrice":null,"soldCnt":null,"topSeller":null,"source":1,"cardType":null,"action":"https://uk.ok.com/en/city-pembury/cate-classes-lessons/unlock-hidden-knowledge-esoteric-english-w-corrine-6414207350643312/","localIds":"19","cateId":null,"tid":null,"logParams":{"tid":"9dd7bbdc-6000-42dd-b82f-f13fb819e4ac","sid":"1cf02105-51df-4e96-82bd-1cdfc8e85b90"},"attrParams":{},"addDate":1761109949268,"categoryName":null,"postCode":null,"secondCateCode":"classes-lessons","kycTag":null,"pictureUrls":null,"isFavorite":false},{"category":"6503,6506","location":"Unit CR 28, 1 Crossrail Pl, London E14 5AR, UK","infoId":"6414205832038512","pictureUrl":"https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/0/a/e/highres_502328366.jpeg","videos":null,"title":"Philosophy in the Park 127 (in Crossrail Place Roof Garden)","content":"Philosophy in the Park is a philosophical discussion group.

She works closely with Verene, Emma and others in the NGL community to develop pathways to anchor nonviolence to transform how we are with ourselves and each other and how we structure our collectives and organisations to support the shift from control, punishment and reward, and either/or to collaboration, integration, and needs-based orientation.**\n\n**The evening will likely focus on sharing about the power of CF principles and specific skills – what we sometimes call needs choreography – to move towards convergence even in situations of deep polarisation. However, the content and structure of the evening is not finalised so please contact Michelle Asher from NGL to let her know if you have any requests or interests: shelasher@gmail.com.**\n\n**There is a growing network of people in London who converge around initiatives such as London NVC training pathways, NVC Development and Integration groups (including general interest groups and the riverside Conflict facilitation group) in person Listening Hour, Community day events, NVC Walking group, pathways for NVC in education, and other pop up events.**\n\n**We hope that many of you may be interested to join Miki, Emma and Verene for this evening.**\n\n**NGL is organising this evening (https://nglcommunity.org/), with input and support from Ceri Buckmaster and other London NVC trainers.**\n\n**You will be asked to choose 'Free' in the registration option.

Whether you bring a conundrum of your own that you are experiencing or simply your listening ear, you’ll find a welcoming space to share, reflect, and explore life’s tricky questions together.\n🌿 **What to expect:**\n\n* You’re invited to share a conundrum, dilemma or question that you yourself are experiencing.\n* We’ll vote on three intriguing ones to explore more deeply.\n* With a few extra details in hand, we’ll break into small groups for thoughtful discussion.\n* Then, we’ll come together as one big group to share insights, perspectives, and perhaps even some fresh solutions.\n\nThe atmosphere is **analytical yet empathetic, thoughtful yet light-hearted**, and always non-judgmental. Whether your conundrum is personal, professional, or just a head-scratcher, we’re here to help unravel it together.\n\n💸 There’s no set fee to attend — but if you’d like to support the group and help cover Meetup costs, donations on the night are warmly appreciated.\n\n🍷 Please also support our lovely hosts by buying yourself a drink at the bar (and food’s available if you fancy a bite).\n\n💡 **What’s a conundrum, you ask?**\nA conundrum is any dilemma, crossroads, or confusion in your life—big or small. It could be a **\"chicken and egg\"** situation, a **\"catch-22\"**, or a **\"have your cake and eat it\"** kind of puzzle. Sometimes, life just throws us complex, messy questions—and that’s what we’re here to navigate together.\nOnce our deep discussions wind down, we’ll slip into **pub mode**—a chance to relax, connect, and continue chatting with newfound friends.\nCome along for an evening of intriguing conversations, fresh perspectives, and a touch of serendipity.
